The "IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE!!!!!!" themed Season of Spoop rolls on. Aaron and Derek are joined by James to talk 1985's British science fiction horror flick "Lifeforce" directed by Tobe Hooper, adapted by Dan O'Bannon, and based on the novel "The Space Vampires" by Colin Wilson. They discuss spirituality mixed with science fiction, how many horror subgenres and themes are packed into one movie, and the inconsistent pacing. They also get into the over the top climax, the portrayal of women, Hooper taking a B movie concept to insane heights, and many other aspects of the movie. Aaron and Derek have been in space for six months and James looks perfect to them.

The Lot is many things. A small town full of secrets. A place where evil can fester. And it's a Stephen King property that has a few swings at the bat. Well, this week on Kill By Kill, we're the ones swinging the bat! That's right, we hate to do it, but we're driving a stake right through the heart of this 2022… wait, 2023… hold on… 2024 remake of ‘SALEM'S LOT - and we're not happy about it at all. Why does this movie feel like a speed run? Why does it refuse to show more than six people at a time? Why does Barlow look like the Space Vampire from that episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century? Folks, we're doing everything in our power not to be “those fans,” but this motion picture keeps dragging us back in. Remember how we raged at the 2011 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street? Well, it's happening again. Make sure to listen til the end to hear about a couple of things we actually appreciate about the film and explain our many, many disappointments. We go in-depth with Uncle Steve's original novel and try to parse exactly what went so terribly wrong with this new version. It's a real journey. Don't worry, we're back to our chipper, fun lovin' selves next week. Part of the BLEAV Network. Get even more episodes exclusively on Patreon!

Is that a naked space vampire? So close! It's Max Evry- author of A Masterpiece in Disarray- coming on the pod to discuss Tobe Hooper's box office bomb Lifeforce. But first, Max talks to me about his experience writing an exhaustive history of the production, release, and legacy of David Lynch's 1984 adaptation of Dune and some of the insights he got from talking to over three dozen people involved in the production of the film. Once we switch back over to Lifeforce, discussion topics include: Seriously- why is this movie not titled Space Vampires? Does this movie contain enough nudity that it could be repurposed as medical staff training material? How many genre shifts can one movie have before it fully collapses? All this, and more! Max's book A Masterpiece in Disarray (David Lynch's Dune - An Oral History) is available now in a limited first edition!

Thoughts on the film Lifeforce (1985) Space Vampires !!! Episode 255
Dave, Marcus and Colin escape Mathtilda May's entrancing beauty long enough to discuss Tobe Hooper's ambitious $25 million Space Vampire sci-fi epic. While it fails to deliver a coherent storyline, believable characters, or any level of logic, it more than makes up for in chaotic entertainment. Dave fails to master Steve Railsback's character name, Colin does his best impression of several characters, and Marcus thinks his friends must have seen a better film. The guys remain confused by….well…almost everything, but have a lot of fun discussing what amounts to a bizarre ‘80s artifact.

Director Tobe Hooper is responsible for some hallmarks in genre cinema whose titles still invoke awe from viewers... and then in the mid 80s he had a three picture deal with Cannon Films and made a grab bag of bizarre movies.

Lifeforce (aka Space Vampires) is a 1985 science fiction horror film directed by Tobe Hooper, adapted by Dan O'Bannon (writer of Alien!) and Don Jakoby, and starring Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Mathilda May, and Patrick Stewart. It also features John Forbes-Robertson as ‘The Minister' The film is based on Colin Wilson's 1976 novel, The Space Vampires. It portrays the events that unfold after a trio of humanoids in a state of suspended animation are brought to Earth after being discovered in the hold of an alien spaceship. This was the first film of Hooper's three-picture deal with Cannon Films, the other two films are the remake of Invaders from Mars and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. Prior to Lifeforce, Hooper was originally offered the script for E.T. but turned it down. Spielberg then suggested Hooper direct Poltergeist, a project he had written himself and had planned on directing. he took the job and Spielberg went on directed E.T. (and most people also believe Poltergeist as well) Before Hooper, Michael Winner was offered the Lifeforce director's gig, but it didn't work out. And Billy Idol said he had been offered a lead role as a vampire by Hooper, who had directed the video for "Dancing with Myself", but turned it down due to touring commitments. It has been suggested that this is a remake of Hammer Film Productions' Quatermass and the Pit. In an interview, director Tobe Hooper discussed how Cannon Films gave him $25 million, free rein, and Colin Wilson's book The Space Vampires. Hooper then shares how giddy he was: "I thought I'd go back to my roots and make a 70mm Hammer film." Hooper came up with the idea of using Halley's Comet in the screenplay, rather than the asteroid belt as originally used in the novel, as the comet was going to pass by Earth one year following the film's release. Colin Wilson, the author of the source material, was unhappy with the way the film turned out. He wrote of it, "John Fowles had once told me that the film of The Magus was the worst movie ever made. After seeing Lifeforce I sent him a postcard telling him that I had got one better." According to interviews with Bill Malin, who plays one of the male vampires, the film went over schedule during production. Because of this, some important scenes were never shot, and the film was shut down at one time because the studio had simply run out of money. The film marked the fourth project to feature special effects produced by Academy Award winner John Dykstra. Dykstra who has worked on 38 films including: Star Wars, Star Trek the Motion Picture, Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, Spider-Man 1 and 2, and the last three Tarantino films. His last IMDB credit is a fan man Spiderman film that is getting some heat because of racist slurs used by some of the cast whilst promoting the film. The umbrella-like alien spaceship was modelled after an artichoke, while the miniature London destroyed in the film was actually the remains of Tucktonia, a model village near Christchurch, United Kingdom, that had closed not long before the shooting of the film. The initial Director's cut was 128 minutes long. This is 12 minutes longer than the final version, which had several scenes cut, most of them taking place on the Space Shuttle Churchill. According to an interview he gave on the UK talk show Wogan in 1985, most of Nicholas Ball's performance ended up on the cutting room floor Mathilda May had to learn her lines phonetically, for her audition as Space Girl, because she didn't know any English at the time. She then went on to learn the language during the six months she spent in England on this movie. Patrick Stewart has said several times that Tobe Hooper was his favourite director to work with (which is rather unkind to Jonathan Frakes I thought).

Based on Colin Wilson’s 1976 novel The Space Vampires, Lifeforce was the first film of... The post Cult Faction Podcast Ep. 116: Lifeforce first appeared on CULT FACTION.
When a group of astronauts discover an extraterrestrial craft drifting in the tail of Halley's comet, they find 3 humanoid beings in suspended animation and bring them aboard their ship. Upon returning to Earth, the ship is found with the 3 bodies and only one surviving astronaut left. The recovered bodies soon awake and begin to unleash an otherworldly terror upon London and soon, maybe the world.

This week on Invasion of the Podcast, I am joined by the other half of At the Devil's Ball, Sammaeal, to take a trip back to our Year of Cannon and talk about 1985's Lifeforce. Can Tobe Hooper, fresh off the success/complications of Poltergeist take the novel Space Vampires and turn it into a $100 million block buster? This is the Year of Canon, so you can probably guess the answer. So enjoy the conversation about a film that should have been shorter or longer, more serious or less serious, and well, should have treated all women involved better.
Cameron, Leonard and Dave discuss Vampires in the film, Lifeforce (1985), and the book it was adapted from, The Space Vampires (1976). Contact: www.monsterdear.monster @Drfaustisdead @nighttwitten @sentionautplus @theuglymachine
Quatermass and the Pit (or as it's known in the US ‘Five Million Years to Earth') is a 1967 British science fiction horror film from Hammer Film Productions, a sequel to the earlier Hammer films The Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass 2 (see General Witchfinders episode 17 for more details). Like its predecessors it is based on a BBC Television serial, of the same name, written by Podcast hero Nigel Kneale. It was directed by Roy Ward Baker (who is responsible for such highs as A Night to Remember And such lows and The scars of Dracula and The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires - see episodes 28 and 31 respectively) And this incarnation stars Andrew Keir (featured in Cleopatra, Dracula: Prince of Darkness and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.) in the title role as Professor Bernard Quatermass, replacing Brian Donlevy, who played the role in the two earlier films. James Donald, Barbara Shelley (also in Dracula: Prince of Darkness and The Gorgon) and Julian Glover (whos been in some little known films called Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Empire strikes back, Games of thrones, several Doctor Who stories and load of other stuff including being the voice of a giant spider in Harry Potter) they appear in co-starring roles.Nigel Kneale wrote the first draft of the screenplay in 1961, but difficulties in attracting interest from American co-financiers meant the film did not go into production until 1967. The director, Roy Ward Baker, was chosen because of his experience with technically demanding productions such as A Night to Remember; this was the first of six films that he directed for Hammer. Andrew Keir, playing Quatermass, found making the film an unhappy experience, believing Baker had wanted Kenneth More to play the role. Owing to a lack of space, the film was shot at the MGM-British Studios in Elstree, Borehamwood, rather than Hammer's usual home at the time, which was the Associated British Studios, also in Elstree.The plot of the film verison was condensed to fit the shorter running time, the main casualty being the removal of a subplot involving a journalist named James Fullalove, and the climax was altered slightly to make it more cinematic. The setting for the pit was changed from a building site to the London Underground. The closing scene of the television version, in which Quatermass pleads with humanity to prevent Earth becoming the "second dead planet", was also dropped, in favour of a shot of Quatermass and Judd sitting alone amid the devastation wrought by the Martian spacecraft.The script was sent to John Trevelyan of the British Board of Film Censors in December 1966. Trevelyan replied that the film would require an X certificate and complained about the sound of the vibrations from the alien ship, the scenes of the Martian massacre, scenes of destruction and panic as the Martian influence takes hold and the image of the Devil.It has been suggested that Tobe Hooper's 1985 Lifeforce is largely a remake of Hammer's Quatermass and the Pit. In an interview, director Tobe Hooper discussed how Cannon Films gave him $25 million, free rein, and Colin Wilson's book The Space Vampires. Hooper then shares how giddy he was: "I thought I'd go back to my roots and make a 70mm Hammer film.Three decades on, Andrew Keir reprised the role of the Professor in "The Quatermass Memoirs", a five-part docudrama scripted by Nigel Kneale and transmitted on BBC Radio 3 in March 1996.

For this October's theme, Leah and Bri are covering some 1980's vampire classics! This week, we're coving a film that might not count as a classic, but has nonetheless been reclaimed: Lifeforce (1985, dir. Tobe Hooper). We invited friend of the pod Terry Waldher back to chat about this wild film with us. This episode is marked explicit because Lifeforce is gleefully NSFW, and, in the spirit of the movie, so is our discussion of it.

Between Peacemaker and The Book of Boba Fett (and a shit ton of other tv shows), we've had quite the exciting January. Its honestly perfect timing, since January is the only month out of the year where no one judges you if you sleep on your couch every night or become a hermit (we see you trying not to drink, New Years Resolution people) We obviously are not capable of giving up alcohol. We both have tried, but it is not our battle to fight. Maybe Boba or Marty Byrde can take over for us. However, we are exceptional at sleeping during the day and staying up all night. ....and we kind of go back to our vampire roots with some fun (and very random) nerdy news. Why is it everyone we love has once played a vampire? Hmmmm....

We examine the film's depiction of British mores and sexual repression, delve into the fascinating career of British polymath Colin Wilson (author of the film's 1976 source novel, The Space Vampires), talk British comedy and horror cinema, and dissect the British media's penchant for transphobia. All in all, a lot of talk about and making fun of the British in this episode! Plus: space tiddies.

This new three-part series will act as a sequel to our previous series The Tragedy of Tobe Hooper. For these episodes, we'll be discussing Hooper's career immediately following his controversial directing gig on POLTERGEIST, a time during which he worked for the infamous 80s b-movie house Cannon Films. For the first of three films that he directed for Cannon, Hooper tackled a little-known sci-fi novel called The Space Vampires, which would come to life as a film in 1985 under the title LIFEFORCE, with a screenplay written by Dan O'Bannon and Don Jakoby (BLUE THUNDER). In this episode, we'll explore the creation of that film and how its release and reception helped to shape the rest of Hooper's filmmaking career.

We're covering a weird, ambitious movie, so it's only fitting that we've got a weird, ambitious episode. Jay Alary from Grumpire and Daily Grindhouse joins The Cast of Cthulhu to discuss Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, the first of a 3-picture deal and a weird, ambitious failure of a sci-fi film that may have signaled the beginning of the end for Hooper's marketability and dependability as a director. Of course, those 3 pictures were all made for the notorious(ly beloved) low-budget studio, The Cannon Group, so the review can't begin until James takes us down a meaty tour of Cannon's history and reputation from Cannes to Sunday afternoons on WPIX 11. If you're anything like Jim, then you see Lifeforce as a messy, exploitative genre film in which a beloved The X-Files character actor elicits unintentional laughs from portraying the sweatiest, most pathetically love sick astronaut in history. And if you're anything like Jay and James, then that's probably why you love it. And if you're anything like The Space Vampires author Colin Wilson, well...why are you even listening to this?
